Installation Manual
GREETINGS
Congratulations on choosing to use this Thomas & Betts product covered by our unique Through-Life Support system. This document is
designed to assist you during the installation of this product; for the safety of yourself and others
Thomas & Betts recommends
that you read this document thoroughly before commencing installation.
The fittings are designed for easy
installation. They are advanced pieces of electronic equipment which, when treated with care and maintained through regular and
appropriate servicing, will perform reliably for many years to come.
SAFETY WARNING
In Australia and New Zealand, only licensed electricians are permitted by law to work with 240 Volt electrical installations.
Do not attempt to install or connect this product unless you are a licensed electrician.
Turn off and isolate the electrical supply before connecting this fitting to the building wires.
Do not touch the terminals of the terminal block when the light fitting is energised.
The only user-serviceable parts are fluorescent or halogen lamp/s. LED light sources are not user-servicable.
Do not tamper with the fitting or the warranty will be void.
As the installer, it is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant building and safety codes, (ie: AS3000, AS/NZS2293).
Refer to the applicable standards for data and mains cabling installation procedures and requirements.
Important Note: This product is designed for indoor use only.
NEXUS LX (DATA CABLE SYSTEM)
The Nexus range of emergency light fitting are designed to be connected together into a special communication network over a Level
4 (or higher) high speed, single twisted pair data cable. The Nexus LX User & Technical Guide describes all you need to know to
successfully install a Nexus project. Ask for it from your supervisor, from your employer or from your nearest Thomas & Betts product
supplier. The network cabling of the building must be installed as per the procedure detailed in the Nexus LX User & Technical Guide. No
mains or mains carrying cables are to be connected to the data terminals or cables.
REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
Gently insert a small screwdriver into the slot (at ‘D’ in Figure 3) on the front of the bracket towards the right hand end of the fitting, to ease
the locking tab into the fitting and away from the bracket. The unit is then free to slide to the right along the bracket for about 50mm, at
which time the slots line up and it can be lowered away from the bracket, allowing the two to separate. The unit will automatically switch
into emergency mode because it has been removed from the power supply. It will stay on emergency until such time as the battery cut
off threshold is reached or it is reconnected back onto the power supply, whichever happens first. When the unit is reconnected to the
supply, it will need time to recharge its battery before it will be capable of a full length discharge again. The ability of the unit to operate
on emergency is determined by the age, charge level, operating temperature conditions and environmental circumstances of the battery
in the unit.
TESTING PRECAUTIONS
Once the fitting is permanently connected to the mains supply, a commissioning discharge test as required in AS/NZS2293.2 must be
carried out. You will need to allow 24 hours for the battery to fully charge prior to conducting this test, presently (at the time of writing),
the standard requires that fittings operate in emergency mode for a period not less than 2 hours for their commissioning test and for
not less than 90 minutes thereafter (it is required that 6 monthly discharge tests be carried out). You will need to keep the records for
the commissioning test and enter them into the building emergency services logbook or via other recording methods as allowed by
AS/NZ2293.2.
CONSTRUCTION SITES
Continuously switching of the mains power supply that is connected to emergency light fittings during the construction phase of an
installation will cause these fittings to discharge and charge their batteries many times over a short period; this can shorten the life of the
battery and will also result in shortened emergency lamp life for fluorescent fittings. Thomas & Betts does not recommend such practices
and may not honour the warranty on batteries when they are subjected to such harsh operating conditions. Emergency light fittings are
designed to be discharge tested once every 6 months as per AS/NZS2293.2, subjecting the product to repeated discharge or charge
cycles is regarded as an abuse of the fittings.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
If you have installed and connected the unit as per the instructions listed earlier and it does not function correctly, use the following table
as a guide to fixing the problem. Look up the type of fault in the left column and check the possible causes from the right column.
If the unit still does not work after checking these possible causes, contact Thomas & Betts Service in Australia on 1300 666 595, Monday
to Friday, 8.30am to 4.30pm (AEST) and ask for help. Our trained service personnel will usually be able to take your call immediately and
